Question

Answer 1

I um... have no recipe for this... but I do know how to make something taste good. Start off with your favorite ice cream... it could be strawberry, mint chocolate chip, or even rocky road. A variety makes the taste even more fantastic. Place three nice big scoops in a bowl. Now that you have done that, crumble your favorite cookie onto your ice cream... just enough to cover your ice cream. After that, take a banana and slice it, yup, slice it, and arrange it onto your bowl in a spiral fashion. Get where I'm going? Now you can have that delicious banana in every bite. After that, you take a bottle of whipped cream and top it off. Now to even enjoy it more, put a drizzle of chocolate/strawberry/caramel syrup whichever you prefer and finish it off with some sprinkles. TA-DA! You don't need a cherry for this, but could because it's not a sundae. =) But if you want one, you could for nice looks and an extra bite. There you go!
